Home Leave 2022
We travel to Switzerland - short home vacation. The schedule is packed with visits. We pensioners are quite stressed.
We had no expectations of Mexico City and these were exceeded
We had no expectations of Mexico City. And these expectations were far exceeded. Mexico City is a gem worth visiting.
What we like about Mexico
What we like about Mexico is the variety, the colors, the relaxed life and the good food. But also nature and different climates.
What we miss from Mexico – for the second time
We drive from Puerto Escondido roughly in the direction of Mexico City. We fly back to Switzerland for a brief moment. But we'll be back.
Does a long-term journey change the nature
Travel broadens your horizons - and changes you. The longer and deeper you immerse yourself in another culture, the more you recognize change.
We gain hotel and hurricane experience
We arrive in Puerto Escondido and are slowly trained to take over the Hotelito Swiss Oasis. Full of hard work.
How we became hoteliers overnight as full-time travelers
How we became hoteliers overnight as full-time travelers and our first experiences managing a hotel.
What we miss from Guatemala
Guatemala is colorful, happy, green. Especially the place Rio Dulce has done it to us with all the waterways into the mangroves. Wonderful.
What we miss from Belize
Belize is a small country with an eventful history. Many descendants of slaves live here and are poor. But nature is fantastic.
What we miss from Mexico
Mexico is different from what Europeans imagine because of clichés and misrepresentations in the media. Mexico is colorful, cheerful, funny. And hot. Jalapenos is noticeable twice. In the evening at dinner and in the morning at the silent session.
